When compiling on DECstation running Ultrix 4.0 a command 'cc -c -O regex.c' is causing an infinite loop in an optimizer. Other sources compile fine with -O flag. If you are going to use this flag either add a special rule to Makefile for a compilation of regex.c, or issue 'cc -c regex.c' before hitting 'make'. From: Steve Simmons <scs@wotan.iti.org> Subject: Non-bug report on gawk 2.13.2 To: david@cs.dal.ca, arnold@skeeve.atl.ga.us Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1991 13:45:38 -0300 Just fyi -- it passes tests with flying colors under Ultrix 4.2. The README.ultrix file applies more than ever. You might want to add these paragraphs to it: As of Ultrix 4.2 the optimise works for regex.c, but you must give an additional switch to get everything optimised. Using '-Olimit 1500' does the job. Without the switch gawk will compile and run correctly, but you will get complaints about lost optimisations in builtin.c, awk.tab.c and regex.c. From: Arnold Robbins <arnold@math.utah.edu> Date: Sun Sep 8 07:05:07 EDT 1996 On Decstations using Ultrix 4.3, the tweakfld test case will fail. It appears that routines in the math library return very small but non-zero numbers in cases where most other systems return zero. From: Juergen Kahrs <jkahrs@castor.atlas.de> Date: Wed Jan 17 13:15:34 MET 2001 On Ultrix 4.3, configure like this: ./configure --disable-nls In custom.h, we defined HAVE_MKTIME in order to avoid a linker error. If you compile with make check every test will pass, except for the badargs test: *** Error code 1 (ignored) This shouldnt cause problems.
